This Week at Sandburg

Hi Sandburg families,

Fall Festival was such a blast! A huge thank-you to Sarah North and Christy Pierce for all the time and effort they put into planning such a wonderful event for our Sandburg community.

We also want to give a big shoutout to everyone who hosted a trunk, ran a game, donated treats or volunteered their time. Events like this wouldn't be possible without our amazing Sandburg families, and we appreciate everyone who helped make the night a success.

Thanksgiving Feast & Holiday Giving

Thanksgiving Feast

We're excited to bring back our Sandburg Thanksgiving Feast on Friday, November 13. Families are invited to join their students for a special lunch and an opportunity to come together as a school community.

Please be sure to review the updated lunch schedule and submit your RSVP so you can join us.


Holiday Giving

As the holidays approach, we want every Sandburg family to know that our community is here to support one another.

If your household could use a little extra help this holiday season, please reach out directly to Mrs. Sieck. Through our Holiday Giving Campaign, we can connect families with assistance while keeping their identities completely anonymous.

We're grateful to be part of a community that looks out for one another.
